They're (mostly) not troll posts, just someone who's been around awhile. I too found it annoying at first (BTW so did/does Elon) but it's like that in any specialized field and you come up to speed pretty quickly. For lists of these shortcuts just do a search for "EV Acronym" and you'll find...

OK, we get that you hate Trump and have cherry-picked the most awkward of his comments, which are pretty much a stream of consciousness kind of thing and easy to criticize, but such "reporting" is simply dishonest and disingenuous. E.g., "...the president has made it abundantly clear he doesn’t...

We too have both a MX 75D and a Pacifica Hybrid and I've noticed the Pacifica is a bit quieter on the highway than the Tesla. I can't say there's an excessive amount of wind noise on the X but the road noise is something that definitely needs to be worked on. I spoke with someone at the SC and...

I leased a MX 75D for three years and the expiration date will be April 2020. I got the FSD option which as it turns out wasn't really worth it, especially since the Hardware 2 equipped car won't ever be capable of FSD anyway. The few advantages the FSD option affords are nice but for the...

Musk is especially good at generating interest and attracting eyeballs at minimum cost, hence Tesla's no dealers and no advertising policy, a welcome relief from the wasteful multi-million $ ads infesting media by all the other car companies. Remember the Roadster launch into space? Pure...

I'd like to see a major update to the map functions, such as time and distance between any two points, alternate routing, and more accurate speed limits (I can have two different speed limits on the same street depending on which direction I'm going!), built-in primary database for times when...

You must use your brakes a helluva lot more than I do (MX). I've got 30k on it with no detectable pad or rotor wear at all.

I call bullshit on this one!

Obviously YMMV depending on the individual you're dealing with. I suggest that anyone who is unsatisfied with a SC employee's attitude first check their own style of relating to make sure that in fact you are not the problem (customers can be a monstrous pain to sales and service people)...

Penalizing everyone for the bad behavior of a few creeps is typical of governments, not the private sector where customers set the standards (remember "the customer is always right"?). In this digital age of smart AI and total communication there is simply no excuse not to tailor the service to...

The lack of options when route selecting is definitely frustrating, which is why I'm sure an upgrade will be coming out before too much longer. There certainly are a number of improvements that could be made, e.g., it would be nice to be able to select alternate routes and stops instead of...

And there's a great little tavern across the street from the Grass Pants SC with excellent food (for a tavern) called Ric's Corvette. I'm not particularly enamored with the Black Bear cuisine so I look for alternatives when available. Overall I think Tesla has done a pretty good job of...

Most pit dumpers like that haul rock up out of the pit and return downhill empty. Where would the opposite be the case?

What is a UMC?
